Trump cancels DACA program: what awaits the "dreamers"

The administration of US President Donald Trump on September 5 announced the cancellation of the program that protected 800 young illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children from deportation - DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Trump entrusted the announcement of the cancellation of the program to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who limited himself to the short phrase: “DACA is cancelled,” calling it unconstitutional and refusing to answer questions from journalists.

Later, Trump published an appeal in which he explained in detail the reasons and conditions for the cancellation, the full text of his appeal resulted in the publication NBC News.

First of all, Trump said that he “does not approve of punishing children, most of whom are now adults, for the actions of their parents.”

“But we must also recognize that we are a nation of opportunity because we are a nation of laws,” the president explained, calling the DACA program unconstitutional, which the previous head of the White House, Barack Obama, passed on his own, without the support of Congress, and therefore in violation of laws.

The president said that state officials from 10 sued the program to declare the program illegal, so it was necessary to act in the direction of canceling it and replacing it with other legislation that protects illegal immigrants brought into the country at a young age.

At the same time, Trump noted that he does not intend to simply cancel the DACA and send 800 000 people from the country who are now from 15 to 36 years, so he introduces the 6 month transition period during which Congress must act if it wants to protect against deportation young illegal immigrants.

The President explained that the cancellation of the program will be gradual.

“In the best interest of our country and consistent with my office’s commitment, the Department of Homeland Security will begin the orderly transition and wind down of DACA. No new applications for work permits under the program will be accepted, and all work permits issued will be valid until their expiration date, which is up to two full years from today. In addition, applications already submitted to work or to renew permits to remain in the United States will continue to be processed. This is a gradual process, not a sudden withdrawal. Authorization to remain in the US under the program will not expire for another six months, some of which will remain active for up to 24 months. That is, in essence, I am not going to simply repeal DACA, but rather provide a window of opportunity for Congress to finally act,” Trump explained.

The essence of the program

Young immigrants who fall under the DACA, in most cases who entered the United States at the age of six years - usually from Mexico and the countries of Central America - are known as Dreamers. For the most part, they did not know any other homeland except the United States. Thanks to the program of protection against deportation, they are now studying, working or serving in the US military, explains “Voice of America".

If Congress does not take legislative measures to protect them, then 5 in March 2018 (after the 6 month transition period expires) will be deported.

And about. Elaine Duke, head of the Department of Homeland Security, explained that until 5 in March 2018, none of the beneficiaries of the change program were affected so that Congress would have time to pass the corresponding bill. Those DACA members whose work permits expire before this date will be able to renew them if they manage to do so by October 5. Other permissions will not be updated.

On September 5, in the morning, a small protest was held in front of the White House in support of the DACA and the people the program is protecting. Demonstrations are expected in other US cities.
The states of New York and Washington said that in the event of cancellation, DACA would challenge the decision in court.

“We cannot and should not sit on the sidelines, looking at how the lives of these young people are crumbling,” said New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in a statement. “We have both a legal and moral obligation to ensure that the laws are properly implemented, without discrimination and hostility.”

House Speaker Paul Ryan and several other Republican legislators called on the president not to cancel the program. Ryan believes that Congress should find a way to protect people who are covered by the DACA program.

Democratic leader in the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi asked Ryan to work with Democrats to find a legislative solution to the problem of immigrant children.

The DACA program was adopted by Barack Obama in 2012. The program is designed for illegal immigrants imported into the United States by children and graduated from a school in this country (who served in the American army). The immigrants who came under the DACA requirements were granted the right to work in the USA and to be protected from deportation for a period of two years. Then this permission could be extended.
